The current state includes mostly tables describing the JSON structure (after
all, that’s the title of this chapter), but some prose about the number
representation can’t hurt. For future reference, since the topic in the thread
includes views and different encoding in views (as opposed to the storage
engine), we should remember to make a note in the views documentation as well,
but we’ll leave this for later.

When you make a change to the documentation, you should make sure that you
follow the style. Look through some files and you will see that the style is
quite straightforward. If you do not know if your formating is in compliance
with the style, ask yourself the following question:

Is it needed for correct syntax?

If the answer is No. then it is probably not.

These guidelines strive be simple, without contradictions and exceptions. The
best style is the one that is followed because it seems to be the natural way of
doing it.
